(-)-2-Butanol

Description:
(-)-2-Butanol, also known as (S)-2-butanol, is a chiral alcohol with the molecular formula C4H10O. It is characterized by its secondary alcohol functional group, where the hydroxyl (-OH) group is attached to the second carbon of the butane chain. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a mild, sweet odor. It is soluble in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which allows for hydrogen bonding. The compound has a boiling point that is typical for small alcohols, and it is flammable, necessitating careful handling. (-)-2-Butanol is often used as a solvent in various chemical reactions and industrial applications, as well as in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Its chirality gives rise to distinct optical activity, making it significant in studies related to stereochemistry and its applications in pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it can be produced through fermentation processes, highlighting its relevance in both synthetic and natural contexts.
